These buses were made for me…well for those travelling to-and-from the Hamilton GO station. When I first saw them on the road, I was excited because it meant that I could get a new perspective on my daily commutes. Here are some quick facts about the new buses:
- lower floors, and a longer, more gradual ramp for easier boarding and exiting
- two wider mobility device areas to provide improved maneuverability
- eight electrical outlets for customer use (four on each level) with two in the wheeled mobility device area
- automated next-stop announcements and visual displays for consistent and timely information (available on all GO Buses)
- more space to store luggage
- reclining seats on the lower floor
- tinted windows for increased UV protection and temperature control
- We’re adding 38 of these buses to our fleet by the end of 2016, and will have a total of 253 by 2020.
